I can't tell if it was the cop or the criminal, but somebody needed a round in the chamber so their gun would go bang instead of click. Hopefully it was the criminal but how does a cop get shot in the back unless it was friendly fire? So many questions...

"A plain clothes officer was standing right there and we didn't know it was a cop and we saw him pull the gun, like this, and he pulled the trigger and it clicked, like there wasn't a round in it.

Sounds like the Cop didn't have one chambered,maybe he figured it was safer that way,until he needs his gun and forgets to chamber a round,Officer may have been shot as he turned to dive for cover when his gun went CLICK.

BUT.....BUT....BUT....it only takes a second to chamber a round, in fact if you practice you can chamber a round in .5 second!
